without anyone knowing who added what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever you grab with your chopsticks, you must eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up to that point, it is just an unusual hot pot, but people abuse the rule that you must eat what you grab and throw in things that are not suitable for a hot pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not a meal so much as a game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Personally, I think playing with food is wrong, so I have no intention of allowing a dark hot pot in the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The villagers also feel uncomfortable about wasting food, so no one suggests doing a dark hot pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because of that, a Great Tree Village original version of the dark hot pot was created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its name is the Light Hot Pot (hikarinabe).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Light hot pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a hot pot where everyone around the pot draws one lottery ticket each to decide an ingredient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chinese cabbage and cabbage can be added freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, there is a risk the pot ends up with no vegetables at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a nutrition standpoint, I want everyone to eat vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For hot pot, that means Chinese cabbage or cabbage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the type of broth, it can be decided after all the ingredients are revealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is because I want every combination of ingredients to be enjoyable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, white rice and finishing udon are free to add.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Depending on the luck of the ingredients, the hot pot might not be very filling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a precaution for those cases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, tonight’s dinner was a Light Hot Pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone reacted with joy or disappointment as they drew their lottery slips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some pots turned into fish, fish, fish hot pots, while others became vegetable, vegetable, vegetable hot pots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one with a well balanced selection of ingredients was at the Demon King’s table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unusually, the Demon King had good luck and secured pork from Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For reference, Beezel, who was sharing the same pot, drew tofu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuri got a set of green leeks and white leeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frau drew a salmon fillet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You could say it lacks excitement, but it is better than ending up with a strange hot pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I definitely prefer a well balanced one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, the ingredient chosen by my lottery slip was bean sprouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do not dislike bean sprouts, so that is fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Loo, who was sharing the pot with me, also drew bean sprouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the image of a bean sprout hot pot crossed my mind, but Tier drew scallops and the High Elf Ria drew shrimp, so we were saved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah, no, bean sprouts are tasty too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really like bean sprouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All right, I am going to eat the scallops and shrimp too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Make sure you leave them for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After we finished the hot pot, dessert was served to those who wanted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s dessert was ice cream made with great effort by Ice, the ice monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems they went through many rounds of trial and error to achieve a smooth texture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flavors were green tea, black tea, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, orange, and milk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oni maids put a lot of thought and care into it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is delicious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A relaxed after-dinner time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I discuss the family restaurant menu with the civil servant girls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since we just ate, it is hard to think about food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「We should have thought about this while we were hungry」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s true.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Ah, but about the hot pot earlier, I thought it might be something we could bring into the family restaurant」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, the Light Hot Pot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But hot pot is already on the menu, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Yes. But that is a single-person hot pot. We thought it would be good to have a hot pot everyone can enjoy together」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Also, with hot pot, if we give them the ingredients, the customers do the cooking themselves. That should reduce the workload for the staff」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hot pot works well if the customers do the cooking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grilling on a net or barbecue might also be good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Since the concept is family, wouldn’t it be better if families can enjoy it together like that」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about the Light Hot Pot?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a family goes out to eat together and has bad luck with the lottery, ending up with poor ingredients, wouldn’t that cause trouble?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「About that, how about preparing a normal hot pot and adding one extra ingredient by lottery? That way, even if the lottery goes badly, they can still enjoy it」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh, that’s good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, should we do that for the Light Hot Pot in Big Tree Village too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I think the Light Hot Pot in Big Tree Village is fine as it is. The residents enjoy it in their own way, and it gives them something to talk about」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, we can decide that while listening to the residents’ opinions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this Light Hot Pot, Youko and her daughter Hitoe, along with Yoru and Klim from the hot spring area, shared the same pot, but their ingredients turned out rather sad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King oyster mushrooms, king oyster mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, enoki mushrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King oyster mushrooms are tasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enoki mushrooms are tasty too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if you ask whether they can be the main part of a hot pot, they feel a bit lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four of them quickly moved on to the finishing udon, turning it into a mushroom udon hot pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those four might be happier with the one-extra-item system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「It’s fine as it is. Next time, we’ll hit meat!」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「I agree with Mother」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Changing the rules just because we lost」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Keep it as it is」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite the fighters, aren’t you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I understand that they do not want it changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, we will leave the rules as they are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Civil Servant Girls 「If the concept is family, isn’t a single-person hot pot a bad fit?」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Village Chief 「P-please make it a place where even one person can enter casually」\u003C\u002Fp>",1023,"2026-06-05T23:08:42.455Z",1,"novelbin.me","90c8013539343207a682f37a2010a0a87998f794393f698bdafa25cd21ea2757","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-910","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-985",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
